Enjoyed on tap at the brewpub.

After trying and not loving one of their IPAs, this beer was a delight. I've had it before, but this was the first time this year. Ideally, I'd get to Squamish more often to enjoy this and others at the brewpub, but it's at least worth a trip to one of the private liquor stores.

A: This beer was golden and colour and looked like, well, a wheat beer. Not a whole lot of head. Fairly clear.
S: Wheat and fruit.
T: The fruit is definitely present. My Mom, who's not a beer drinker, tried a sip and liked it, but don't let that lead you to think this is one of those overly sweet, artificially flavoured fruit beers that doesn't taste much like beer. The fruit flavours are present, particularly mango, but this is definitely beer.
F: Crisp and refreshing.

If most beer is considered "liquid beer" then this treat should be considered "liquid fruit salad". Strong notes and tastes of Mango and Passionfruit with a background of Raspberry and Pomegranate.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5
Overall: A pleasant summer beer, more similar in taste to a kölsch or altbier than a fruit beer.

Appearance: Golden with visible sedimentation.
Smell: Pronounced mango nose.
Taste: Light and drinkable, though not fruit-forward at all.
Mouthfeel: Light and fizzy.
Misc: Despite Howe Sound's distinctive bottle, the recloseable wire, plastic, and rubber bottle clasp did nothing to prevent the beer from losing all carbonation within 24 hours.
